Introduction

Great Expectations is Charles Dickens's beloved, autobiographical tale of a poor boy haunted by a dark secret and harboring grand hopes for his future as a gentleman. Pip, the story's narrator, takes us through his early lifefrom his brush with an escaped convict on the marshes of southeast England to his exposure to genteel society through the warped old Miss Havisham and her icy protégé, the alluring young Estella. Apprenticed to the blacksmith, the tender-hearted Joe, Pip's fortunes change dramatically thanks to a mysterious benefactor, and he must figure out what is real and what is false as he navigates his new world, while never quite escaping his old. Considered by many to be Dickens' greatest work, Great Expectations will transport you, move you, and stay with you forever.

Beautifully yet simply formatted, carefully edited, and featuring illustrations from the artists who realized the first serialized chapters and many of the early print editions of Great Expectations, as well as Dickens' originally planned yet dramatically different ending, this is the definitive digital version of the Dickens classic.
